          $4000 shiny espresso machine - tick
          $1500 shiny grinder - tick
          $150 tamper - tick
          $350 scale - tick
          $0.50c plastic dosing cup - wha??

          I’m joking but for some of us we have to keep our ‘coffee corner’ within the bounds of ‘aesthetically acceptable’ for the purposes of ‘continued domestic acceptance’...... its the only way we can continue to get away with it without being banished to the shed...

                  So, it seems Aus post have their priorities right.

                  Very specialised piece of equipment for work that I need ASAP, order from my supplier - delivery notification on Saturday ( over a week after it was shipped from Melbourne to Sydney) whilst at the job site, and have already paid triple the price for an inferior version so I could do the job.

                  Tiamo dosing cups, ordered Thursday, delivery notification Sunday.

                  I kid not.

                    I have those as well, but I found the static electricity a bit of an issue, especially when trying to "de-clump". Cleaning made it worse!

                    I find the Tiamo a little easier to handle too. (Oh and yes it is nice and shiny)

                    I now use a snack tub to do a rough check of the water temp. The tub fits nicely in the naked porta-filter. I punched a hole through the side of the tub for the temperature probe, along with a hole in the bottom of the tub to slowly let water out. Not quite the high tech version but it gives me some guidance.

                    EDIT: Just checked - I bought my Tiamo in June from sponsor Coffee Parts. It was on special for $15.90 (plus delivery) then. It has gone up a lot since then.
